What mods do you do for unit values?
Soddball replied to Carl Puppchen's topic in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk
It depends on the map. My huge campaign (75,000 points on an 8km x 4km map) has all the ammo up to maximum. I tend to think FOs are undervalued in ammo terms for the bigger maps. -
You're definitely missing something. They are a superb piece of kit. Can I suggest you head to The Scenario Depot and pick up my scenario 'Inferno' which should give you a taste of how to use Wasps.

question from new gamer
Soddball replied to Dariuz Kowolski's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
So what you're saying is that despite all evidence to the contrary you continue to believe that the Germans were the greatest thing ever? I can see now why your religious belief is so strong. I'll be leaving this thread now, since I have no desire to read the deranged rantings of this intellectual pygmy any longer. -
Sheesh - what a bunch of Germanophiles ;-)
Soddball replied to Brent Pollock's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
The point Mr Duke is making is that Soviet armour production was so far ahead of German armour production (in terms of volume) that a Panther would rarely be facing off against a single T-34. Fighting standard T-34s, you are clearly stacking the odds in your favour. Their 76mm guns cannot penetrate the Panther. Historically, under those circumstances, your lone Panther would probably be overwhelmed by a battalion of infantry and a huge artillery barrage. -
The bridge in the background is interesting, definitely been blown. There look like two spans, one broken in half and the other in the river. The soldiers are also all carrying rifles (I think) which suggests that it is early war - weren't automatic weapons more prevalent as the war went on?

Russian infantry illustrated - meeting engagement

The 76mm sounds like an interesting purchase for a small battle. You were able to pick your terrain and you knew you could use it, but what about on a map where it's hillier? If I'd been setting up for the same battle I'd probably have taken 1 fewer maxim and no 76, and used the points to get 5 DP LMGs. Do you think that's a sensible purchase? -
Yeah, yeah, big talk just like Mike Tyson was spouting last week about his opponent. Wasn't it something like "I'm going to gut him like a fish"? Anybody else see how that worked out for Iron Mike this weekend? Seems like I saw a picture of him tangled in the ropes. I suspect we could always crank up one of Soddball's cursed "Inferno" scenarios. That sounds like what you're after. How about something with nothing but flamethrowers and assault guns in the fog? Maybe we could include bazookas and panzershrecks, too. You know, something to really showcase our "realistic" tactical skillz! </font>

So your understanding of WW2 comes from computer games and the bible. Well, I take it all back. The Russians whipped the Germans. They crushed them, utterly. They would have beaten the Germans on their own. They had no regard for casualties, they just fought, like maniacs, for 4 years. They had help, significant material help, from Britain and America, but their manpower and their diligence was all their own. They had no god, and they won. Deal with it. I feel comfortable knowing that imbeciles like you are in out of the way places like Alaska where you can do no harm. It's only a shame you're entitled to vote. -
There is no such thing as "Blitzkrieg"
Soddball replied to Michael Dorosh's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Yes, it is. Shepherd's Pie is what you mean. From the words "Sheep Herd".
